PHP, 4 chars − 15% − 20% = 2.72 2.6 points

Yes, PHP is a Turing-complete language. Nobody said I have to use any of its actual programming features. ;-)

Edit: Changed the score based on the clarification that bonuses are additive, not multiplicative.


TI BASIC 4 - 35% = 2.6

I might understand them wrong, but I think I am also eligible for the -15% and the -20% bonusses, meaning I have the lowest possible score.

I can write the program:

123i

which will output 123i where i is of course the imaginary unit. When you remove the 1st and the 3rd character all that remains is 2i which outputs 2i


Python - 95

Great challenge. I thought this was pretty clever, and actually a legit solution!
